Definitions
- controllable closing means such as gates, for varying the size of the exhaust opening. This enables controlling the amount of water running out of the apparatus through the exhaust opening.
- the system becomes particularly advantageous if the apparatus units themselves are made inexpensive, for example as sort of pusher barges, without their own propulsion power units.
- empty apparatus units could be located scattered along the coastlines.
- at least one apparatus unit can always be quickly brought to the site.
- Other empty apparatus units can then be towed or otherwise brought to the site ready to work.
- One vessel engageable with the apparatus units for example a pusher tugboat, can then be used for filling up the cargo space of one apparatus unit, and quickly replacing the loaded one with a new empty apparatus unit.
- the water level inside the cargo space is coplanar with the water system's surface level 1.
- the illustrated apparatus 20 has been shown without any propulsion power sources.
- the cargo space for example, could be arranged with engines and propulsion power devices, such as propellers and steering equipment, for an independent operation of the apparatus 20.
- the rear wall 4 of the cargo space could also have separate coupling means for connecting a separate propulsion power source, for example a pusher tugboat, to the apparatus.
